We spent three days at the center....one day filling out paperwork, meeting everyone and touring the facility. Jess had two days in therapy. He has 4 hours a day in therapy 5 days a week. The therapists were just trying to get to know Jess, see what he can do and asked us a lot of questions. It is too early for us to form an opinion but everyone is very nice.
It seems our challenges do not stop, though. In order to stay at the apartments they have set up for us we had to have a background check and be finger printed in California. I have been cleared twice in Idaho but you have to go through the process in each state for each agency. Chris received his clearance two days ago but we have not yet received mine. So, we have not been able to stay in the apartment complex. We had reserved several flights so Chris and I could to travel back and forth to stay with Jess and still continue working. Chris had a flight home tomorrow. We received over a foot of snow and he sets all the nordic tracks at the Sun Valley Resort and he is running a construction job. Plus mom and dad are "home alone". He also just hired a new employee and has not had a chance to train him. So he needed to go home and we were going to switch in a week. I also need to go home once in awhile and work to keep my job and to keep our health insurance. But, we had to cancel his flight tomorrow so he and Jess could move into the apartment since I can't stay there without a clearance. It is not easy to take care of Jess in a motel room. I had to move my flight up so I changed my flight to go home on Monday. I have not left Jess' side for a year and a half except when he went to school and horse therapy. I can't handle the thought of being away from him for 12 days...it is going to be so hard for me to leave him in a new place even if Chris will be with him. Another mountain to climb... I guess. I am getting pretty tired of these mountains that are taller than Mt. Ranier. I think we are glad to be here...but today is not a good day to make a judgement.
